Play around Python client for Weaviate version 4

Support
1

Dear Weaviate Team,

I am really excited to work with Weaviate DB, and I would like to learn about the features of using the Python client for Weaviate version 4.

Can we use a command-line interface (CLI) to connect to Weaviate DB, similar to how we use MongoDB shell or MySQL command prompt?

What are the future plans for making the database more user-friendly?

Is it possible to take backups and restore the database using the Python client for Weaviate DB?

I would also like to create users and manage their access levels. Do you have any documentation for these steps?

Thanks
Ramu A
